Assess the task and worksite
Before work begins, identify wet floors, electrical equipment, restricted areas, heights, sharp objects, manual handling, ventilation and other site hazards. Agree who controls access and how changes or incidents will be reported.
Train workers and select equipment
Provide task-specific instruction on equipment, safe handling, PPE, storage, surface compatibility and emergency procedures. Inspect and maintain tools according to manufacturer directions. Do not use damaged equipment or work beyond training and capability.
Handle cleaning products responsibly
Keep products in original labelled containers, follow label and safety-data directions, provide required protective equipment and never mix chemicals. Store products securely and ensure relevant handling information is available to workers.
Document and review controls
Keep suitable induction, maintenance, incident and risk records, and review controls when a site or task changes. Check current state or territory work health and safety requirements and seek qualified advice for legal or injury matters.
